Pros

IF you get lucky and end up under good leadership, you might learn a thing or two about leading people. Also, it is a good way (not a great way) to earn college tuition.

Cons

Long hours, VERY POOR LEADERSHIP, Complete, lack of oversight on leadership, Terrible politics, Sexual politics, leadership will lie about Jr. personnel to cover their butts, LONG HOURS, no recognition of effort, job well done, etc, no one appreciates a junior sailor's input on ANYTHING. Poor medical care, you may spend 13 months (as I did) with a medical issue, with absolutely NO TREATMENT. Also, DO NOT let anyone in your chain of command know about ANY medical issues, they will humiliate you for them, often in front of the whole division.

Pros

Job security is an excellent selling point in these rough economic times and I feel that I have that in the Navy. There are many benefits that many employees don't take advantage of so as long as you dig up the info, you'll be taken care of for the most part.

Cons

They own you. This is a fact of life in the navy and even though it is necessary, I do feel that it's taken advantage of to often by the management.

Pros

Join the Navy-See the World, look where I'm at in the middle east! I've been here for almost 5 months already, and the tax free dollars are not bad at all! Plus the Air Force girls on base can be eye candy. No alcohol though!

Cons

Constant deployments not enough pay when you're not in the sandbox
